The resort is a great location, a beautiful and prominent building that everyone passes on their way to surf. Siargao island is expanding extremely fast and tourism is based on surfing, but has broadened greatly in the last 18 months. There are approximately 16 surf breaks within 15 minutes motorbike ride from the cafe/restaurant. We want a relaxed and low key launch, with a limited high quality offer.

Ideal candidates will have an innate sense of hospitality, empathy and humility coupled with a strong work ethic and desire to lead.

They will be passionate about all aspects of hospitality and restaurant culture and possess great organizational and prioritization skills.
Siargao is an incredible place to live and work. Have a look at some videos of the island online to see what I mean. We will provide accommodation and a basic salary to cover simple living expenses. The main remuneration will be in the form of generous profit share in the café/restaurant business. It will be your responsibility to ensure that all aspects of the business run smoothly. Once the business has been set up and is running smoothly, I will be contributing in terms of observational feedback relating to things I see when using the restaurant as a customer. My main involvement will be in the marketing of the business and overseeing its general direction and not hands on day to day involvement.
I demand high standards and attention to detail and I expect these from my Kitchen and Operations Manager.
